Gopher, you obviously just don't get it...
If there's a war, it means the end is very near, because wars are a part of the "composite sign" given by Jesus.
If there isn't a war, then the nations are working to bring about peace, so the final declaration of "peace and security" is about to happen.
Either way, the end is coming ANY DAY NOW!!
Similar reasoning:
If the organization increases in size, Jehovah is blessing his people.
If the organization decreases in size, Jehovah is sifting his people.
BUT...
If another religion increases in size, Satan is decieving many along the "broad path" to destruction.
And if another religion decreases in size, the "waters of the Euphrates are drying up", proving that the end is near.
Either way, no matter what happens,
** The Watchtower is God's one organization, and all other religions are of Satan, and
**the end is coming ANY DAY NOW!!
